Sunday Survey

Do you remember when it was really popular to forward email surveys around to friends and coworkers? I do, and I absolutely loved it. I am unsure why, but perhaps it was because you were talking about yourself (which everyone loves to do whether they admit it or not) and you always know the answers!

I came across this fitness survey on one of my favorite blogs, Peanut Butter Fingers. I thought it would be fun to do on here as well.

I am not even sure, but I tend to drink a lot of it! (which results in many trips to the restroom!!! Dang tiny bladder.) I am known for always having a water bottle with me. If I don’t drink enough water I can totally tell by the way I feel. So drink up everyone!

3. What is your current favorite workout?

I love running outside on nice days! But I also love Turbo Fire by Chalene Johnson.

4. How many calories do you eat a day?

Too many. That is my weak spot. I tend to over eat in the evenings. I am not big into calorie counting even though it is really effective and an eye opening experience! If you haven’t done it before, I would suggest it for a week just so you get a close look at your eating habits.

5. What are your favorite healthy snacks?

I am in love with Chobani yogurt. I love the Pineapple and the new Chobani Flips. Mmm. I also love Shakeology.

6. What do you usually eat for lunch?

This varies depending on how well I have planned for the week. Often I bring leftovers, enjoy an egg salad sandwich on Ezekiel toast, or try to have a chicken salad and a Chobani yogurt.

7. What is your favorite body part to strength train?

I hate strength training, but I am really trying to get into it. Right now I’d say it is my arms.

8. What is your least favorite body part to strength train?

Legs. It hurts so bad!

9. What are your “bad” food cravings?

Sugar. Anything and all things sugar!

10. Do you take vitamins or supplements?

I take Vitamin D and an Omega 3 supplement. Women in Minnesota especially need to be taking a Vitamin D supplement. We just don’t get enough of it up here!

11. How often do you eat out?

Too much! Justin and I are really working hard to limit it to once or twice a week. Not only do we typically consume way more than we need to, but we also spend a lot of money eating out. We always order one to two drinks with dinner and that really adds up!

12. Do you eat fast food?

Rarely. However, I am a sucker for Vanilla Cones from McDonald’s, and I may have tried one two Doritos Locos Tacos from Taco Bell.

13. Who is your biggest supporter?

My husband. Thank goodness he is down with trying to live a more healthy and active lifestyle. It makes it SO much easier.

14. Do you have a gym membership?

Yes. I should probably use it more!

15. How many hours of sleep do you get a night?

Typically seven but I would love up to nine or 10. I LOVE sleeping, but not in a totally depressing way.

16. Do you have a “cheat”day?

I cheat every day. Hello sugar addiction! Plus, a friend of mine always says, “Everything in moderation.” I am just working on that moderation part.

19. What is the best thing that has changed about your life since committing to a healthy lifestyle?

I’ve come to the understanding that it is ok to have set backs as long as you don’t quit. I have so much more energy, and I just feel a heck of a lot better. I don’t get sick nearly as much as I used to either.
